  1. Nothing that would help your problem really, no. You could try increasing OBS' process priority but I'm not entirely sold on the idea of it actually being able to help you out.
  2. Really only you can answer that question. If your PC isn't capable of keeping up with what you want it to do, then it's time. If it is though, then you may as well just keep it going how it is. I know people that would love to have my system, yet I'm going insane not being able to throw my 12600KF to the curb in favor of a 7800X3D and my 2080 in favor of a 4080.
  3. Allegedly the LSI 9260-8i supports RAID 5 with no fuckery involved. Looks like a common price on eBay ranges from $30-35 USD, and some good 'ol CableMatters SAS-8087 breakout cables will run you somewhere in the neighborhood of $15 each.
  4. I don't blame you. I consider myself fairly skilled and careful and that's not even something I care to fuck with... And this is coming from someone who takes apart power supplies minutes after use. Ultimately you may just want to consider getting an air cooler. Less bits to go wrong, after all.
  5. As far as I'm aware that's not possible on units like yours. At least not without dismantling the pump/block, which can be a royal pain in the ass and can always pose the risk of leaking if you dont torque it down perfectly.
  6. Welcome to the cursed age we live in where motherboards like forcing CPUs to perform comically out of spec by default.
  7. Three followups for you then: 1. Manually set it to disabled, auto just means it'll do whatever it wants which, usually, means fucking with things and running them wildly out of spec. 2. If it still does it after making sure TE is disabled, try a run with Turbo Boost disabled. If it passes that... 3. ...See if you are able to manually specify a turbo table. I can't seem to find any information regarding MSI motherboards and if they allow this behavior or not, so unfortunately I am of absolutely no help here. If you had a Gigabyte board you'd be in luck since that's what I have, and quite honestly turbo table OC's are the bee's knees.
  8. The Samsung option has a GPU that should be quite a bit faster, and their CPUs aren't far apart, though the i5 of the Packard would probably be a smidge faster. Overall the Samsung is probably your better option though. The HD7670M could also... technically? run Fortnite, but it would not be an enjoyable experience.
  9. I feel like a tactical nuke is a bit much, I'd just start by making sure whatever MSI calls their CPU enhancement is turned off. If it's already off then it looks like you might have some more work to do.
  10. If you've done any overclocking or let your motherboard do its "automatic enhancement" junk then there's your issue. R20 and R23 are great at finding issues with voltage/power starvation as I found out when setting up the PL1/PL2 power limits on my 12600KF.
  11. Ditto on this, was going to say the same thing, cooling a Ryzen 5 isn't a very tall order. If mounting pressure/paste aren't an issue then the AIO is at the end of it's life.
  12. DLSS even on my 2080 is truly incredible when the scene works well with it. Lately in Ghostwire Tokyo I have an issue where performance shits the bed until I reboot, so I have to go from quality DLSS to ultra performance, which means it renders at sub-720p... and it generally looks better than native 720p as long as there isn't rain.
  13. It sounds like you're running into an issue where your GPU can't balance rendering frames and encoding the video stream fast enough at the same time, so it prioritizes rendering instead. If you get a 4K60Pro Mk2 you will be in the same spot with a lighter pocket, since they also require the use of hardware encoding (technically you can get away with CPU encoding if you use OBS IIRC but that is a stupid idea). If I were you, I'd go through the hassle on a per-game basis of finding what framerate it runs at more or less normally, and then setting a cap maybe 20FPS below that. 110FPS is better than 60FPS, after all.
  14. Compared to the factory curve of pretty much every card made in the last decade, that is exceedingly aggressive. There really isn't a reason to have your fans be doing 100% by 80C.
  15. Heyo what the fuck, that SP kit didn't show up the last time I was looking at RAM... I'm erect.
  16. You can't really go wrong with this stuff. If I'm not mistaken it's one of the cheaper 32GB kits out there, yet it's fast and has pretty alright timings. If I ever get money/ambition to ditch 12th gen Intel it's what I'll be using. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/XsqPxr/gskill-ripjaws-s5-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr5-6000-cl36-memory-f5-6000j3636f16gx2-rs5k
  17. I notice it, surprisingly. My only comparable CPUs of reference have been a 3770, 4820K, 4690K, and 6400, but each one (minus the 4820K) have a noticeable boost in perceived responsiveness. Realistically, the security requirements aren't even that big of a deal as long as the workarounds remain for them (which they probably will for quite a long time). My current capture PC is an OptiPlex 9020 with a 4690K and Windows 11 runs just fine on it. It doesn't feel as fast as my Precision 3420 with the 6400 that runs Windows 10, which is expected given it's Skylake, however it's also got faster RAM (1333MHz? DDR3 vs 2133MHz DDR4) and an NVMe SSD instead of some random ass SATA SSD. That might change though since at some point in the next year I plan on also getting that system onto Windows 11...
  18. I have literally run the EPS cable between the motherboard and the case itself (old prebuilt cases don't have cable management after all) and it served me just fine since I didn't stab through the insulation. You're more than safe lol
  19. Honestly, even going as far back as Haswell i5's and i7's are surprisingly competent, so long as you aren't trying to run FS2020/CP2077/CSII on 'em. I'm very excited because here soon I should have the 6700K and GTX 970 that are on their way to me, and it should make for a very interesting build. I fully plan on kicking my 12600KF and RTX 2080 largely to the curb for a couple days since realistically, they'll cope just fine until I whip out the games I've been playing as of late.
  20. Strictly bent fins are fine. The only time they're a problem is if they somehow get bent so badly that they crack/tear the tubes the fluid actually flows through. Well, or if it looks like a little kid encountered an air conditioner condenser for the first time. That would also be a problem. IYKYK
  21. It's always possible that the benchmark for, whatever reason it might have, only counts the available VRAM at the time you started the bench.
  22. Yeah... My older builds totally never go online...
  23. Other than it ignoring my exclusion preferences, I have no complaints. It's just annoying that it likes to ignore my exclusions for my network drives where it tampers with my uh... Meme stash.
  24. The Dimension 3000 will be almost entirely unusable unless you spend your entire day in Microsoft Office. The second you try to take it online you'll be actively attempting to break your skull open on the nearest semi-solid surface.
  25. I'm going to be building a funny stupid 6700K build here soon (TLDR is it's a 6700K, Z170 DDR3 board, 32GB of 1866C10 RAM, and probably a GTX 970), and if not for the fact that I reeeeeealllllly want to try shit like FH4 on it I'd just install 8.1 and let it be.
